Description
The poetic travelogue A Sixth Part of the World and the "visual symphony" The Eleventh Year mark the beginning of Dziga Vertov's most creative period, which would culminate in his iconic film Man with a Movie Camera. This 2 DVD set presents these two rare masterpieces in a new transfer accompanied by original music from British composer Michael Nyman. The bonus features include documents on the filmmaker's methods as well as an introduction to the Viennese research project on Vertov, "Digital Formalism".
